Between taking 19 credit hours and being a member of a fraternity, free time is rare. Whats the obvious solution to this problem? Join a lab and do research on the side, obviously!

While my free time will now be nonexistent, I’m quite excited to finally be doing some real research. I was going to do research with this particular professor over the summer but chemistry courses got in the way. We met a few days ago to hammer out the details to my Undergraduate Research Proposal (which forces RPI to pay me, always a plus). He also showed me the new scope they just bought from Zeiss. It one very sexy, very expensive machine. =)

All in all, I’m excited to start working. After I slog through a few hundred pages of literature to write this proposal I’ll start doing benchwork. Who needs free time anyway?!
